Introdução
If you are unsure how to write an ISO to a USB flash drive, this guide will show you how to use Rufus. Many modern systems do not include an internal optical drive and require a USB flash drive to boot unless you use a USB optical drive. This is especially common on modern laptops and some desktops where it is an option and not standard. Using a USB drive is often a more practical workaround for these systems.
Unless your application REQUIRES a DVD, a 16-32GB* USB flash drive is generally the better choice.
*An 8GB drive can often be used, but you will be limited in extra storage space for files, drivers, and NF firmware for components like Intel wireless cards or nVidia graphics. 8GB drives are generally no longer sold today but may still be sold in bulk packs for cases where the drive is seen as "disposable"; most are no-name.
If you own it, it can still be used, but it is not recommended as a new purchase. My current recommendation is 32GB due to the small price gap between 16GB and 32GB drives (which tend to be ~$1-2 more or less expensive both ways).
READ: Important note about legacy operating systems.
Important: OSes without USB boot support are not guaranteed to work. While the risk of a problem is low, results outside of Linux and modern Windows releases are NOT GUARANTEED.
This guide was initially written exclusively around Linux. However, it can be used with any operating system that supports USB boot and is not tied to one specific operating system in practice. Since these operating systems can create unforeseen issues, I cannot quickly figure out how to fix them. You will be on your own for OSes other than Linux.
Guide notes
- If you have a used USB drive, format it outside Rufus before use.
- This guide is on Revision 3. If you are using Rufus 2.x, refer to Revision 2.

Unetbootin does not work anymore and is considered unstable to use when installing any Linux OS, also 4GB USB drives are more than big enough to get the job done
My reasoning for saying 8GB is because 4GB sticks are all but nonexistent (8GB is more popular now), but if you already own the 4GB stick then it'll work. I even use one from 2006 in the guide, to show that reuse is possible.
Oh really? I always thought it was still a usable option - thanks for letting me know that I was wrong.
